Extractions: William Allingham (1824-1889) Here the white-ray'd anemone is born, Wood-sorrel, and the varnish'd buttercup; And primrose in its purfled green swathed up, Pallid and sweet round every budding thorn, Gray ash, and beech with rusty leaves outworn. Here, too the darting linnet hath her nest In the blue-lustred holly, never shorn, Whose partner cheers her little brooding breast, Piping from some near bough. O simple song! O cistern deep of that harmonious rillet, And these fair juicy stems that climb and throng The vernal world, and unexhausted seas Of flowing life, and soul that asks to fill it, Each and all of these,and more, and more than these! O English mother, in the ruddy glow Hugging your baby closer when outside You see the silent, soft, and cruel snow Falling again, and think what ills betide Unshelter'd creatures,your sad thoughts may go Where War and Winter now, two spectre-wolves, Hunt in the freezing vapour that involves Those Asian peaks of ice and gulfs below.

Extractions: ruler albania c1740, Tepelenë (Southern Arabia) - 24 Jan 1822, Monastery of Pandelimonos (near Ioaninna) Was a leader of brigands in his youth. In 1787 he was appointed as a pasha (governor) to Trikala by the Turks. He managed to extend his power and ruled over a large territory. His ambition was to rule Albania and part of Greece and he was in contact with Napoleon, Nelson and the Tsar. Foreign experts trained his troops and the western powers provided him with modern artillery. He was called the "Lion of Janina" because he was ruthless and clever. In 1809 Lord Byron visited his court in Janina and used the experience in his Childe Harold. Ali Pasha had a harem of over 600 women in Janina and was very wealthy. Ali Pasha went too far and his enemies, some of them robbed of their territories, appealed to the Sultan to remove him from power. As Janina was attacked by the Turks his allies and even his sons abandoned him. After he was promised a pardon he ordered the castle of Ioaninna to surrender to the Turkish army of 20,000 man. Waiting at the monastery of Pandelimonosfor his pardon to be read he was killed. His body was decapitated and his head was placed on a silver salver and for three days put on view in the city. Then it was sent to Constantinopel where it reached the Sultan on 23 February and was put on public display outside the Seraglio. The engagement of the Turkish troops in removing Ali Pasha from power helped the Greeks with their struggle for independence.
